Speak Out: Speakout 4/20/17

Posted by Rick Scaggs on Thu, Apr 20, 2017, at 7:09 AM:

Get united

It appears to me as though there are now two different classes in Society of the United States, the Democrats and the Republicans, the Reds and the Blues. With each passing day these classes grow more divided, the people turn their self against each other for their own selfish reasons instead of being American.

Animal care

This comment is directed to parents. Please, do not go out and get a puppy or a kitty just because your child has decided he or she wants one. Whatever you may think, animals are not disposable! Each pet has its own set of requirements and you must think long and hard if you can meet those requirements. Cleaning out a litter box is important to the health of a cat and if you do not want to do that, then don't get a cat whether you have a child begging for one or not. If you don't want to walk a dog every day, then forget about getting a dog. Once you get an animal it is your responsibility to take care of that animal. I am so tired of hearing about someone trying to re-home an animal because their child has decided they don't want the animal after all.

  • April 20, 1861 - Robert E. Lee resigns his commission in the United States Army. "I cannot raise my hand against my birthplace, my home, my children." Lee then goes to Richmond, Virginia, is offered command of the military and naval forces of Virginia, and accepts.

  • Tennessee teacher accused of kidnapping student is arrested in Northern California; girl found safe

    A former Tennessee teacher accused of kidnapping his 15-year-old student has been arrested in Northern California, and the girl was found safe, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Thursday.

    Authorities have been searching for weeks for Tad Cummins, 50, who was wanted on allegations of sexual conduct with a minor. He has been accused of kidnapping 15-year-old Elizabeth Thomas. Amber alerts were issued in Tennessee and Alabama, and Cummins was listed on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s 10 Most Wanted list.

  • Married man fakes hijacking threat to avoid trip with girlfriend

    -- Love can be tricky, especially when you're a married man with a child and you've got an online girlfriend who wants to go on vacation.

    Police in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad arrested 32-year-old Motaparthi Vamshi Krishna on Thursday for allegedly sending a hoax email about an aircraft hijack plot.

    According to a statement by Hyderabad police, in the email, which was sent to Mumbai police on Saturday, Krishna claimed to be a woman who had overheard six men plotting to hijack planes in the cities of Hyderabad, Chennai and Mumbai the next day.

    Animal Care

    People really should wait until a child is older before getting any pet. If they are too young they can end up hurting them unintentionally and it is more like animal abuse although it isn't meant to be. They are just too young to understand.

    I still think Rust made a mistake by not asking subscribers for their opinion.

    As I stated earlier though I was honest about my life so I really shouldn't have panicked at first. Some however aren't who they seemed but that is their business.

    Rick was right about some can be identified by their verbiage. I have to say I don't miss the Dump On Trump daily. Seriously doubt that miccheck will be back and Theo will try to change her way of posting. Believe I know who Dug is but not sure why he is hesitant to post. Greywolf just told it like it is and still does even though he has come under fire for revealing his real identity. Got to give him credit for not backing down.

    Jones is my married name. I am from KY. originally. Just have my estranged hubby and kids and some grandkids as far as the Jones family goes. Not much left of the line.

    Who is R.W.Bess? I was thinking that the David Schaefer was Semo after he posted what Semo always does at the end of all his S O posts.

    They have to tell you I cannot do that. But I grew up about a 3 wood down the hill from the Grandparents of a Karen Jones. Barely knew her older sister and did not really know much other than who she was. Just curious. I thought Jones was probably your married name, but do run onto relatives and acquaintances in the strangest places.

    Genealogy is a hobby of mine and names are a big part. Always looking for a connection. Found a 4th cousin from Holland who was in St. Louis doing some research. It appeared we had a relative in common, but did not realize it came down to cousins. rather than through perhaps someone married into the family with no direct relationship other than that.

    Hoping the kidding didn't bother you. :-)

    R.W. no I knew Wheels right off. Just as you say there is only one Wheels.😁

    Some will be easy to ID because of their way of posting. I look for Theo to try to claim she isn't Theorist. She had got out there since the election and probably is a little embarrassed by the way she acted and treated others.

    Miccheck may not show up either due to the real question of his/her sex. We will just have to see.

    I also have done a lot of genealogy. Haven't worked on it for a while. It can become very time consuming especially when you find a link you have been looking for.

    One of these days when I get rich I am going to do the DNA test. I am stuck and it looks as though that is the only way to kick start it again. 😁

    Off for the night! Play nice! Maybe if I sign off Theo will come out to play.😋

When I was in school I did well and enjoyed English class and was pretty good at spelling, but for some reason my vocabulary is limited and now my spelling abilities have long got up and gone. Sometimes my vision prevents me from proper editing of my posts but I know the difference between then and and than. I'm a pretty open guy except for one deception I allowed to continue. I'm in the phone book and was once on the front page of the paper. Give me a call. :)

    The other day I received an email with a whole litany of how you can tell a redneck.

    One of those was you can tell you are a redneck if you use a toilet brush for a backscratcher.

    Bingo, I just remembered somebody gave me one as a gag gift and I stuck it on the shelf in the closet in the extra bedroom which I use for an office. Yep it was still there with the tag still on it. By golly I will see how it performs. It is great. Now it is on my desk where I can grab it at the slightest itch. Guess I must be a redneck.

    And the manufacturer certainly subscribes to truth in advertising. It says Multi Purpose right on the little tag.

  • "...the Dump On Trump daily."

    It would seem appropriate to more clearly explain or define what that means.

    What about reprinting one of his "tweets," or quoting exactly what he has said, is that "dumping on Trump?"

    If so, it would appear to most that he's doing it to himself. In any case, this question and whatever answers or comments it may generate, would more appropriately be moved to the to the "Trump - Growing with the Job" thread (which by itself begs more questions.)

    Donna,

    It wasn't meant to be catty. It was meant more in fun. Sorry you took it that way. Should have clarified as it is hard to tell intentions in written forms at times. I could have taken yours that way but hope that wasn't what was intended.

    Don't want to start this way.

    Hopefully we can now have conversations without the harsh, rude rhetoric on here that had become the norm rather than the exception.

    People can disagree without calling names and such. It will still get intense at times because we are all different and are passionate in our beliefs but in the end you have to respect that their feelings can be just as strong for their beliefs as our own.

    I'm good. Just so discouraging to think that anyone would mistake me for "one of them." LOL.

    Donna: That was Mic2's time for making comments, so a person could think that you were Mic2. I personally couldn't care. I will treat others as they treat me.

    I really can't be around much drama. MS does a number on ones nerves.

    Must have been before my time. It should be better now as the 2 who created the most drama haven't resurfaced. It is unlikely that they will due to the way they conducted themselves.

    Welcome back and hope things are better!

  • FCC head unveils plan to roll back net neutrality

    Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai on Wednesday revealed his plans for rolling back net neutrality, one of the most controversial items up for consideration at the agency.

    "We applaud FCC Chairman Pai's initiative to remove this stifling regulatory cloud over the internet,” AT&T said in a blog post. “Businesses large and small will have a clearer path to invest more in our nation's broadband infrastructure under Chairman Pai's leadership.”

    Seems the students are now in charge of U.C. Berkeley.

    They say who can and can't speak there now. What exactly is the Dean and all of the others there for?

    What? Are we going to have another Kent State? They seem to be getting out of hand! Who is going to stand up to them?

    OJ, They allow free speech as long as they approve of what is being said.
